I am very fortunate to be surrounded by lovely, talented people.  Colin chose to have a “Bob Ross” painting party in celebration of his birthday and I was quite surprised at which of my friends are skilled painters.  Who knew!  Here are some images – a bit late, I know, but it’s been busy here on the blog!

Chile rellenos are amazing, delicious things. But boy are they a pain in the butt to make!  I always forget how time-consuming and annoying they are because I am blinded by the results.  And honestly, I don’t know how people manage to bread and fry them and keep them held together.  I can’t keep them together just sitting in a pan.

One of my favorite businesses is Best Buns, a lovely little bakery a block and a half from my house.  I love being able to stop off on the way home from work and pick up a beautiful baguette.  They’ve got lots of other tasty goodies as well – including a hearty multigrain bread.  I used it this weekend to make some very indulgent, but hopefully not too sinful, french toast.
